All Good Things …

It is with no small sadness that I announce that Episode 183, which will be recorded and broadcast from Heroes Landing in Clermont, Florida on Free Comic Book Day 2011, Saturday, May 7th, starting at 2pm, will be the final broadcast and recording of the show.

Thank you, to our regular contributors/colleagues Slacker and the Man, Talk Nerdy Show, and A.A.A. (Anime Addicts Anonymous) Podcast; to our sponsors/supporters Jeff Melvin of Comic Connection, and Stu Cohen and Todd Merrick of Heroes Landing; to our friends at MegaCon, Florida Supercon, and Anime Festival Orlando for allowing PTG to be a small part of promoting your events year after year; to Geoff and Jennifer Peace, without use of whose studio PTG would have never come to be or lasted this long, and of course to everyone who’s come to our live webcasts or downloaded our podcasts. Thank you for listening and for supporting the show in every way you have these past two-and-a-half years. It’s been a great ride, and I’m looking forward to going out with a great couple of hours this weekend, so come on out for Free Comic Book Day, grab your free books, meet the guest artists coming in, and if you’re so inclined, stop and say “Hello” to the guy in the back corner of the store with all the laptops and microphones. That would be me. :)

  • Wonder Woman’s new TV costume: what we think;
  • Guest TV Reviews: V: The Second Season (Stu); Justified (Stu and the Man); Young Justice (Stu and the Man)

Since this episode was recorded, there have been, of course, a number of updates on the topics covered – Wonder Woman’s costume has changed yet again, due seemingly to fan outcry; and Captain America: The First Avenger now has a full trailer online to view, and with full knowledge that a trailer can make anything look good, we here at PTG humbly submit that this trailer SHOULD put the doubts of all but the most dubious of skeptics and hardened of haters to rest. Check it out for yourself, if you haven’t already:

Enjoy!
